hi! this is my first fixed gear built (not my first project).
I used Easton tubes (aluminium scandium... very light). I draw the geometry of the frame and than Valdemiro (a great Portuguese frame maker) did this:
I love the cannondale track frame (i'm an old fan of cannondale... alot of BTT with one). You will understand why i said this.
Than i "spent" alot of hours preparing for the paint job. The reason of it was the weldings...
Than i applied the "aparelho" (sorry! I don't know the english word for it)
It was time to work on the color. I spent 2 days trying to make/find the one i like. My ideia was to make a "dark" bike with black stickers. Grey it was (3 blacks, 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 white).
here i show you how the bike was built at first
than with a gipiemme tecno wheel
I never rode a fixie before... i had to spend some weeks with this "bullhorn"
Now i have the bike with a track handlebar
a zoom of the welding look
the bike is not finished. I want to change the pedals and the cranks
i have to wait for better days (€) :)
